Dah puas makan dah? Tengah escape family gathering la tu to read blogs. Or reading them with cousins ramai-ramai.
Teehee : ) Kita lain tapi serupa. Serupa tapi lain.
No, I'm not excited about today. No sensible adults are (chewah). And it doesn't help knowing that this raya is going to be my last year as an eligible duit raya receiver. Danggg.
Looking back, I noticed how the television plays a big part in raya. A decade ago, there weren't many raya specials and the only shows I looked forward to were magic and circus shows. I'm planning to restrain myself from over indulging the idiot box today. I think the fact that there will be a lot of raya specials featuring Akademi Fantasia celebrities is enough to take my attention off the television. Yes yes, I dislike AF and the subliminal message that it propagates.
I should pay more attention to actual people, not Mawi (he eh, dah tembam la Mawi, biasalah jutawan segera) or Nabil (kelakar la bekas despatch ni, dia tak cukup makan la kurus sangat!) We all should do the same. After reruns of Rashid Sibir's tear inducing flicks, we should follow through the spirit of raya and mourn the death of the Emak or Ibu character? Mentaliti Melayu. Cerita sedih mesti mak mati. I can find a dozen raya themes that can make people cry without killing the headstrong mother.
It's only human to expect the worst. The joy of raya will catch on, eventually.
Eventually.

"Mentaliti Melayu. Cerita sedih mesti mak mati."
haha. my abah said the same thing but in his own words, "crita melayu raya ja mesti tak sah kalo takdak cerita kuboq, mati, teriak."
anyway, selamat hari raya.
Before the interview for askar diperbatasan dia dah cakap awal2 "nangis-lar! nanti boleh tinggi-kan rating..."
BTW did you sign up for the annual astro screenwriter, director, actor course in december, 10 hari free jer...
I TAG YOU!:
1. Can you cry under water?
2. How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
3. Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'.. But it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?
4. Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
5. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
6. What disease did cured ham actually have?
7. How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
8. Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?
9. If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
10. Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
11. Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
12. Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
13. Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?
I read some of ur articles. Bravo to u for having the balls to say it as it is. Very refreshing & looking forward to more.
Selamat Hari Raya ....
1. Can you cry under water?
Of course I can
2. How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Mestilah super important. I would prefer assasination than murder. A cun assasin like Angelina Jolie is a cherry on top of my deathcake.
3. Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'.. But it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?
To Khazanah I guess. When will Paklah give the President post to the rightful Finance Minister huh?
4. Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
That would be a disaster. I don't won't to dressed in a Hantu Pochong outfit for eternity, especially when everybody else is in lovely black suits.
5. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
Because square box are easier to make. Duh.
6. What disease did cured ham actually have?
Stupid question. Tak mau jawab.
7. How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Technically we didn't. It's a big conspiracy. It was all a hoax.
8. Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?
Who are these people?
9. If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
YES.
10. Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
...... Dunno......
11. Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
So they can skodeng chicks at the elderly home
12. Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
Because stripping is sexayyy..
13. Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?
Saya tidak tahu
